RcHNoND VA. August !.
There was no animation to-day In the
tobacco trade and no important news cur
rent. Notwithstanding the half crop talk,
IL is a source of wonder to many that prices
don boom. bat they SAY 10 3, coming before
sixty days something was done n common
wrappers at rs to ~ cents. outside of this the
market was quiet, and 10 looks a- if August
would bee a rather quiet month in this market

FINANCE AND COMMERCE
New York Stock Market.
Reported by G. w. Branch Il Co., bankers
and brokers. No. III Main street.


New YORK. August l.-Eyeryone was down
town early this morning expecting to find
the market in q demoralized state, but the
general tone throughout the day gives evil
dence Of better feeling and a general
absence Of any great anxiety, at the same
time such a spasm As we have lately ex-
perenced cannot be overcome suddenly II
any solid rehabilitation is to be secured, and
We must EXPECT a nervous and huctuating
range of values for some time. Some of the
better class Of stocks are probably selling
below their intrinsic worth, and the future
will doubtless fully show this, but We may
still have a period of waiting and We cling
persistenty 10 our usual policy of strictly
conservative course The market closed

The elk's skin is extremely thick and

Sometimes the flesh is dressed fresh, but
is usually smoked like ham. The large
lips are said to be, when boiled, like
green turtle fat.
One of the several game cocks that
were being shipped to Portland, Oregon,
escaped from the coop and the baggage
car, and all the efforts of the train hands
to catch it were unavailing until bright
brakeman released another cock. In a
moment the two had engaged in battle
and were easily picked up.

brought home door mat, on another a

In whateer YOU wish to DO,
Even though you have to fight

Then bang away.

Overpower your single aim,

To success you have no claim;

Let that never be your part;
Whether work or whether play;

Turkish Coin Bracelets.

The handsome bracelets and necklaces
which Turkish ladies wear, composed of
ancient coins of gold, form one of the
richest and most characteristic orna-
ments. As these coins are scarce, and as
the taste for this style of ornament is
ever increasing, certain adventures have
had COINS made in Europe of baser metal,
which, In Turkey, they sell as genuine.
In Anatolia and elsewhere they have,
driven a prosperous trade in this way.
But the government has now prohibited
the sale of these sham coins and ordered
the seizure of such as may be now offered
for purchase

A Giant Chestnut Tree.

On the farm Of John Guinther, in Rock
land township. Berks county, Pennsyl-
vania, a chestnut tree was recently cut
down, which for size is probably not ex-
celled in the state. II measured 40 1-2
feet in circumference. 10 feet Q inches
across the butt, and yielded twelve cords
of firewood. It was solid to the core yet.
and only last season a crop Of about
three and one-half bushels Of chestnuts
was secured from il. The c~oncentric
rings in the wood were clearly marked,
and possessing an inquiring mind the
owner counted them, and this established
the fact that the tree sprung up from the
parent chestnut about $50 years ago. The
most remarkable fact in connection with
the old forest monarch, however, was the
discovery, in splitting it up, of a small
hollow metal tube solidly imbedded in the
wood Of the trunk about three feet inward
from the outer surface, and which upon
examination was found to contain a strip
of paper on which was written with ink
in German, the following inscription:
Johann Jacob Walter, Tubingen, King
dom Of Wurtenber, Ammo 1905" The
superstition is that the tube was for some
mysterious purpose hid in the tree when
of ordinary size by boring into it with an
augur and then plugging it up, and that
afterwards the puncture was grown over.

A superb Royal Mantle.


At the coronation Of King Kalakaua,
in 1883, he wore the royal mantle Of Ka-
mehameha /. one of the most superb
emblems Of royalty ever worn by king or
kaiser. As may be supposed, it is care
fully kept at the palace. IL is a semi
circular cloak about four feet in length,
covering an area of twenty-five square
feet when spread out, and IL is made of
the small, golden hued feathers Of the
90. These feathers, each about the size
of ones little finger nail, are fastened to
a fine network of fiber made from the
bark Of the olpna, OVERLAPPING each other.
There are at least 5000 OF these feathers
used in the cloak; there are but two
taken from each bird, which have 10 be
shared in the dense woods, the feathers
plucked and the birds released; it was a
crime TO kill them. The birds are by no
means abundant, necessarily the value OF
the cloak is very great, and the keeping
Of il in order an endless task. This man.
tie is worn only by the reigning sovereign.
There are shorter capes and tloaks worn
by allies or chiefs, their length Icing reg
ulated by the rank Of the wearer.-Hon-
olulu Cor. Cleveland Leader.

Introducing the Edible Snail.

l have lately made a number of efforts
to introduce to st. Louis epicures the
edible snail Of France and Germany, and
have been uniformly unsuccessful, not
because Of the failure of the epicures to
appreciate the delicacies, but because Of
the difficulty ! found in getting the snails
from Europe here. / have so far OBJ
tanned, after several months message
sending by friends visiting the continent,
only two snails. With these l would
have started a snail farm, but they died
through my neglect. II the dish were
once brought to the notice of the palates
of the local gourmands their importation
here would soon become a great business
and the snail would soon rival the soft
crab and oyster as a luxury.
New Orleans is the largest consumer of
snails in this country, and they cook
them there deliciously. The snails are
first thrown into hot water and killed.
Then they are washed in q weak solution
of I've, which removes the slime, and the
shells are cleaned with stronger I've. Then
the meats are boiled and replaced in the
shells, with a dressing of bread and pars-
ley, and thus prepared the snails are
roasted. When the covers are removed
from the dish, n must eat the snails,
whether one likes them or not, the flavor
is 20 enchanting. They a be eaten in
two ways: The meat can be picked out
with a fork, or the shell may be put to
the mouth and the snail sucked out

We first went to the receiving room.
where the fresh milk Is delivered by the
farmer and is at once poured through q
fine strainer into large copper watts; is car
ried thence by means Of pipes into large
copper wells, situated in one Of the lower
rooms: here il is boiled, and from thence
to a small copper well where the finest
grades of refined sugar are added, and
then strained into another web, from
which it is taken to the vacuum or con
densing room above. The milk is here
condensed by a very low temperature in
these pans: at times made to boil at o
temperature as low as 100 degs. The
milk in its condensed form Is carried to a
lower apartment again, where it is put
into larger watts in cans OF ten gallons
each. and with apparatus kept in a re-
yolving motion, the milk is cooled to q
temperature of about 20 degs. From this
room the milk is transported on a car to
the canning room; here it is poured into
the filling machine, which sends the milk
into the Fans ready for sealing. The cans
weigh n pound each and retail at from
fifteen TO eighteen cents. The cans are
sent to the shipping room, where they are
carefully packed in boxes holding four
dozen each. The milk is used for all the
ordinary purposes that pure sweet milk
is used; for table use; for the traveller on
sea as well as land, and is prescribed by
physicians as a nice and delicate food for
infants. l need only say the company
makes its own cans and boxes.
The factory gives employment to 1875
persons, over half of whom are attractive,
white aproned girls; it buys from 1874
farmers a daily average Of $4,000 quarts
of milk-the milk being produced by
$500 cows. feeding on about $4,000
acres of land. The sugar used is about
thirty-fve barrels per day, or n barrel
to every 1000 gallons of milk. Cleanli-
ness is strictly observed in the factory,
and nothing of acid o. solid nature is
used in the process of condensing the milk
that will not admit Of a close and rigid
medical test.-Cor. Hartford Times.
